Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 132 Yahiko Trio

The land of rain.

This country is surrounded by rain all year round.

It also became the epicenter of the war between the three major ninja villages.

Today, no intact buildings can be seen, and even the survivors inside have become few and far between.

The wealthy nobles and tycoons of the Land of Rain had long since fled the country.

The remaining ordinary people could only struggle to survive.

In the battles fought by ninjas, it was the civilians who suffered the most.

If just two ninjas were to pass by, they would be killed on suspicion that one of them was a ninja.

The people living here have no idea whether tomorrow or death will come first.

The surviving civilians could only establish markets in remote places, which were the only places where order still existed for them.

No one knows when this place will disappear.

Perhaps a foreign ninja will pass by in the next moment.

This place will be destroyed.

In front of a fish stall at the market.

A blue-haired girl was standing in front of a stall, pulling a red-haired boy along with her.

Both of them looked at the fish with expectant eyes.

The blue-haired girl swallowed hard as she pleaded with the boss.

"Boss, we haven't eaten for many days. Could you give me some food?"

Upon hearing the blue-haired girl's words, the boss waved her away impatiently.

"Get out of my way, don't get in my way of doing business."

There are just too many orphans like this these days; he can't possibly help them all.

If you save this one, there will be another.

The girl was still pleading.

The red-haired boy behind him had long bangs that covered his eyes, but it didn't affect his vision.

He saw a boy with orange hair peeking out from under the fish stall behind the fish stall owner. Noticing the red-haired boy's observation, the boy gave him a cheerful smile.

The orange-haired boy secretly took a fish, hugged it to his chest, and then crawled back down the same way he came.

Only then did the blue-haired girl speak.

"Then we won't bother you any longer."

After saying that, she grabbed the red-haired boy and quickly left.

The boss turned around and saw the fish had disappeared, but instead of chasing after it, he sighed deeply.

"Survival is not easy."

As citizens of a small country, their lives are even less valuable than those of dogs in a large country.

It's hard to say how much of this market will survive.

In the streets and alleys.

The three met up.

"A great harvest! A great harvest!" The orange-haired boy, Yahiko, put the fish into the prepared basket with a happy expression on his face.

One of the three baskets is already full.

"Let's try our best today, fill all three up!" Yahiko cheered, raising his fist.

"Oh!!" The blue-haired girl, Konan, also waved her fists.

At that moment, two pairs of eyes turned to Nagato, the taciturn red-haired boy.

Looking at the two expectant eyes.

Nagato still gritted her teeth and raised her arm.

"come on."

Although they knew stealing was wrong, the three of them had no other choice but to do it to survive.

Konan and Yahiko were overjoyed.

Next, in the market, the three of them repeated the same method and began stealing food.

Konan and Nagato provided cover in front, while Yahiko stole things from behind the boss.

Until at a fruit stand.

Yahiko just got an apple.

A shadow fell over him.

He looked up and saw the fruit stall owner staring at him with a gloomy face.

"Hehe." Yahiko gave the boss an awkward but polite smile.

Unexpectedly, the fruit stall owner still grabbed Yahiko and slammed him violently onto the street.

"Get out of here right now!!"

Yahiko rubbed his sore bottom, and without thinking of getting up, he grabbed Konan with one hand and Nagato with the other and ran quickly into the crowd.

Even when caught red-handed and trying to escape, Yahiko showed no sign of discouragement.

He still had that same hearty smile.

"I wish I were like him."

Nagato looked down at her wrist that had been pulled, and this thought inexplicably came to mind.

Living like that, perhaps there wouldn't be so much suffering.

The three of them ran all the way to the alley where they had hidden their items.

Yahiko raised his arm once again.

"The escape operation was a success!!"

"Yay!!" Xiao Nan raised her hands in response.

Both pairs of eyes turned to Nagato.

Nagato grinned and raised his arm.

Only then did the three begin to inspect their spoils.

Although it didn't achieve the desired effect, it was enough for them to live on for a while.

"Minami, carry the lightest one." Yahiko began assigning tasks, pushing the lightest basket to Minami.

Yahiko wrapped his arm around Nagato.

"These two heavy ones will be given to us boys."

Konan watched as Yahiko embraced Nagato, a strange smile appearing on her face.

The two boys shivered.

For some reason, they suddenly felt that Xiao Nan's smile was terrifying.

The two quickly shouldered their baskets and hurried forward.

"Wait for me."

Xiao Nan hurriedly followed.

The three of them walked all the way to the entrance of the market.

There weren't many guards at the entrance, except for the stalls set up on both sides.

No one bothered them as they came and went.

It was just a hidden corner next to the entrance/exit where the three of them thought no one was.

Two pairs of eyes watched them leave.

The headbands they wore also represented their identity as Rain Ninja.

The Rain Ninja who were about to intercept them looked at their companions in confusion.

"Why won't you let me catch those three thieves? They've caused a lot of people to suffer heavy losses."

In the Land of Rain these days, it's not easy for even the most humble vendors to sell their wares.

The supplies were provided by the Rain Ninja, and they were very cheap, mainly to prevent the people of the Rain Country from starving to death.

These things are essentially Rain Ninja's assets.

Rain Ninja behind him shook his head.

"Look at those people, how many of them actually care?"

He pointed to the vendors selling their wares.

"Life is hard enough as it is; let's give them a break if we can."

Yu Ren felt somewhat melancholy.

After all, there are three children, and now it's all on the safe side if even one of them survives in the Land of Rain.

This is why they felt compassion.

They hoped that their own children could live like this too.

The three of them were carrying baskets on their backs and heading towards their secret base.

Nagato followed silently behind Konan and Yahiko, his long bangs obscuring his strange eyes.

"I will definitely open a shop in the future so that everyone can have enough to eat."

Yahiko was excitedly expressing his expectations.

It seems like you can never see any sadness in him.

"Xonan will be the waitress."

Yahiko hugged Nagato again.

"Nagato will be my chef."

"We're sure a lot of people will come to eat what we make."

Yahiko and Konan were both laughing happily, and even Nagato had a rare smile on his face.

Just as Konan and Nagato were listening to Yahiko's vision for the future.

A kunai with an explosive tag attached to its tail is rapidly falling from the sky.

Nagato discovered it immediately.

"careful!!!"

He quickly tackled the two to the ground.

"boom!!!"

A loud explosion was heard.

The sounds of fighting could be heard in the distance.

A fierce battle.

it has started.
